Liam Gallagher Takes Aim at Fontaines D.C. in Latest Public Outburst

Liam Gallagher has taken aim at Fontaines D.C. in his latest public comments, criticising the Irish band’s songwriting and suggesting they do not have a strong enough catalogue to justify their reputation.

The remarks, posted on X on 16 October – the day Fontaines D.C. released their album Dopamine Chamber – add another provocative entry to Liam’s long history of outspoken opinions on fellow artists. His comments arrive as the singer remains in the public eye following Oasis’ return to the stage and the announcement of the band’s extensive Live ’27 plans.

Liam’s latest comments

Replying to a fan who asked why Oasis had not booked Fontaines D.C. as a Live ’27 support act, Liam wrote: “There not good enough they don’t have any tunes.” It is the latest chapter in a spat dating back to September 2024, when Fontaines’ Carlos O’Connell and Conor Deegan III said they did not care about the Oasis reunion and Liam hit back on X; frontman Grian Chatten distanced himself from his bandmates at the time, writing “I love Oasis.”

Fontaines D.C. have become one of the most prominent guitar bands of the current era, making Liam’s comments likely to attract attention from fans of British and Irish alternative rock. For Oasis followers, the episode is another reminder that Liam continues to use direct, unsparing commentary as part of his public persona.

Oasis context

Liam’s comments come during a busy period for Oasis. The band’s Live ’27 tour is scheduled to follow their 2025 reunion shows, with the announced run expanded to 42 concerts after additional dates were added. Richard Ashcroft has been confirmed as a support act, while further support announcements have been teased.

No new Oasis recording has been announced in connection with Liam’s latest remarks.
